I would side with you. For me deadly force is at the far extreme of last resort. I do have a safe room that I can retreat to, loaded with fire arms. I have a secure house that would be a pain in the ass to break in. I'm a Humanist that does not believe in a God. Yet I think every human has the chance to change and do good. The last thing I ever want to do is to kill another human being. I would always retreat if possible, even in my own castle. If I can't, I'll stand and fight with only the force needed. If I was ever forced to take a life, I would see that as the sadist day of my life. You are right, there are no take backs.
